Why do some wacko customers f*ck up decent suppliers?

Quite frankly, if it puts off buyers who intend to do their best to get out of paying you, then it's working well.

of course, the problem is it puts off buyers who do intend to pay. Conflicts over goods supplied are a normal part of business activity (oh for an ideal world), and since when did most suppliers bother to get even basic facts right.

What is the going rate percentage wise for buying debts these days?

However, looking at the products they sell, I would be less sure that they worked if he did. I am in the trade and there is nothing on their site (OEM stuff excepted) that I would carry. Every once in a while one of my trade customers gets tempted away by the cheap end of the market and, so far, every one has returned because of the high level of complaints they got about the alternatives they tried.

You claim not but I think that that claim is more than a litle disingenuous.

I am happy to do business with Consumable cafe, I pay my bills and I never expect to be listed on their web site.

and I think your claim more than a little stupid. I dont mind folk disagreeing but I dont have time for the idiot stuff.

The biggest crooks are most smaller online merchants. Out of the last 8 items I have ordered online 7 didn't arrive on time. Most of the merchants don't respond to emails or pick up the phone.
